The ponnsyIvania Democracy in council.


The Allentown, Pa, democratic
convention Of the 3lst ult., heartily
and by accIamation endorsed Prcs-
ident Cleveland, and the Chicago
platform. Regarding the President
and the tariff question, the conven-
tion used the following language:
First-That we renew our allegi-
ance to the principles and declare
ti0ns of the platform adopted nj
Chicago in 1884, which Mr.. Cleve-
land, the nominee of the party.
heartily endorsed, declaring in his
letter of acceptance: ~ have care
fully considered the platform adopted
by the convention, and cordially
approved the same; so plain a state
ment of democratic facts and the
principles upon which that party
appeals to the sufiages of the people
needs no supplement or explana-
tion." To these principles he has
faithfully adhered in all his public
utterances. We further affirm the
platform adopted by our State Con-
vention of 1886, and in view Of ex-
isting conditions of the public
treasury, we demand with emphasis
that the large surplus already In the
treasury shall be used to pay the
public debt, and that the current
and unnecessary increase going on
beyond the needs of the government
shall be Immediately prevented by a
wise and prudent reduction of in

Second That we fully endore the
administration of President CIevo-
llnl Wise, sagacious and patriotic
he has restored 10 lfidence to the
business interests OF the country ia
tile democratic party; has directed
the financial affairs Of the govern
ment with apt ability; has strength
ened the pubic credit and thereby
given us a period of great industrial
and 60 nnercial prosperity. Appre-
henslon in the minds Of some that
the advent of 0ur party to the control
of the Federal Government would be
dangerous has been dispelled. Our
people are more contented and well
20 do than in years, and more re-
spected than ever by other nations.
His period OF administration has been
pure, economical and fearless, and
meets the approval of all fair minded
and conservative citizens.
This seems to open the way clearly
to q reduction of the surplus, by
reducing either, or both, the internal
revenue tax and the tariff.

but the abandonment was caused
Immediately by the change in om
labor system following the war, rem
dering 1t impracticable to pursue the
old method, a revolution in the
method Of manufacture of pig-iron
caused by the change from the slave
to free system Of labor, and there is
probably, from the unmethodical and
and somewhat superficial methods Of
mining under the old system, great
deal more ore, and better ore, left in
all these ore banks, than has ever
been taken from them, for the deeper
you gothic better the ore. II is in
tended by these remarks to pave the
way to a suggestion that these banks
should be examined by experts, and
the character of these ores deter
mined, for the writer unhesitatingly
expresses the opinion matured by a
long acquaintance with the iron re-
gion above described, that Clarksville
is situated conveniently near to one
of the richest and most valuable iron
districts on the American continent,
and that the hills of Montgomery,
Stewart, Houston and Dickson coun-
ties are still full of rich and valuable
iron ore, awaiting the trituration of
modern science and skill in its devel-
oprnent, to pour their inexhaustible
treasures into the lap of commerce,
and add them to the wealth of this
section of country,

Another Ravisher Lynohed.

John Myr!ck, a negro who out
ragged a respectable white woman in
Henry county, Ala, has been lynched
by a posse of his own color. The
circumstances of this affair are cal
culated to arouse serious reflection,
and furnish food for sober thought.
The outraging of a decent white wo-
man by a negro fiend is morally GER
tain to produce q dangerous disturb
ance, and is calculated to create or
lead to war of races in which the
black man has everything to fear
and nothing to gain. Hence the col
ored people of Henry county, Ga,
determined to show their stern and
emphatic disapprobation Of such a
crime, Whatever may be said OF
the method chosen to express it, the
motive was a sensible one, and this
occurreneco is likely to have a most
salutary effect, in deterring other
from attempting such outrages in fu'
ture and will probably, in its ulti
mate effects and consequences, result
in much good to the colored people
in more ways than one.
